Does your life feel a little too heavy? Do you make space for fun? What if the reason you're not having enough fun isn't because of your circumstances, but because you have no clue what joy actually is?

In this episode, Preston dismantles the three major lies that steal your happiness, revealing that joy isn't a luxury you chase; it's a mandate you are commanded to live by.

You’ll discover:

* Why the Holy Spirit gives joy, and why your enemy works so hard to steal it (hint: it utterly annoys him).

* The profound connection between fun and spiritual warfare, and why God views your cheerful heart as medicine in the middle of the battle.

* How to stop letting the lies about fun rob you, and why scheduling joy is one of the highest priorities of a life lived by faith.

* The key to putting down the burdens you were never meant to carry, and finding the simple pleasures of living with Him.

Stop letting the heaviness of your calling weigh you down in the war. It’s time to activate your true strength in the midst of the battle.

45:T4a3,Welcome to The Leader’s Cut, hosted by Preston Morrison (Senior Pastor of Pillar Church in Scottsdale, Arizona).

Here, we believe you are at your best when you allow God to cut away what’s getting in His way, so He can move through you in powerful, new ways.

”The Leader” refers to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, who guides every believer. ”The Cut” is about allowing the Holy Spirit to precisely remove the ”flesh” – those things in our lives that hinder His movement. Just as the Old Testament marked God’s people with physical circumcision, the New Testament calls for a circumcision of the heart.

Join us weekly for new episodes, where we pray the Spirit of God speaks directly to you about that week’s topic. From past experiences to practical tips to cheat codes in life, lean into the ‘cuts’ each week for Biblical principles and practical takeaways that you can apply to become the person God created you to be.
